Creative responses.As the body of First World War literature continues to grow, women's experiences of this period remain largely obscure, particularly those of Canadian and Newfoundland women. A Sisterhood of Suffering and Service explores this obscurity and begins to redress it. This innovative collection discusses women's activities in the workforce, overseas, within the domestic realm, and in literary representations to show that women were not bystanders who were quietly knitting for the duration; rather, they actively participated in wartime society, served their country in a variety of ways, made sacrifices, and were deeply affected by the vagaries of war. Incorporating the experiences of Newfoundland with those of Canada, and looking at girls as well as women, the volume enriches our knowledge of an important era in Canadian nation building and takes a step towards writing women into the historical narratives of the First World War.World War, 1914-1918WomenCanadaWorld War, 1914-1918ChildrenCanadaWorld War, 1914-1918WomenNewfoundland and LabradorWorld War, 1914-1918ChildrenNewfoundland and LabradorCanadaSocial conditions20th centuryNewfoundland and LabradorSocial conditions20th centuryWorld War, 1914-1918WomenWorld War, 1914-1918ChildrenWorld War, 1914-1918WomenWorld War, 1914-1918Children940.308Glassford Sarah1574772Shaw Amy1514751MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779186203321A sisterhood of suffering and service3851209UNINA
